Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Smells like baby perfume, very basic with no development. I had trouble finding it because it’s not sold in Spain. It’s rich but flat, something you’d smell in any kids’ EDT. Opens with sweet strawberries, then a very light vanilla note. That’s all it lasts for the 2-3 hours it stays on skin. No licorice or anise at all. It has zero projection or sillage; on my skin, it’s barely a trace after a couple of hours. Be careful applying it because it stains clothes. It’s for personal enjoyment only.
It turned out excessively sweet; anise and licorice aren’t my favorite notes, and this confirms it. If those notes were less prominent, it would be a very pleasant fragrance.
It has become excessively sweet for me; the anise and licorice aren’t my notes, and this fragrance confirms it. If those notes were less prominent, it would be a very pleasant scent.
I think the note blend is perfect: precise sweetness, just the right amount of spice, and a touch of jasmine. Licorice and anise always accompany it. The aroma is exquisite. My only gripe is that the projection is very soft. If it projected more and lasted longer, it would be flawless.
I love the marshmallow scent; it’s sweet, but the sillage isn’t great and it only lasts 3-4 hours on me. I expected more from this perfume…
I’m obsessed with that marshmallow scent—it’s super sweet, but I’m not convinced by the trail; it fades in 3 or 4 hours, and I expected more from this perfume…
What a beautiful perfume! Just thinking about it or seeing the little bottle makes my mouth water, and smelling it is even better. It’s very sweet and lovely, fruity without being cloying or too heavy. I wish it had more sillage; unfortunately, it’s no longer available in Argentina, which is a shame. It reminds me of those blueberry gum pacifiers that were my favorites, even though the notes say strawberry and yes, you can definitely feel it. It’s like an explosion of those rich candies. This fragrance is a 10.
I bought it based on Ultraviolet, but nothing to do with it! It’s as potent as Paco Rabanne scents and very sweet. Upon application, the red berries are noticeable for only a few seconds, then marshmallow comes out in all its glory with a spiced base. Over time, the spices fade, leaving the star ingredient. It reminded me of the scent of a jar full of sugar cubes. Cloying 😁
I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE! It’s youthful and elegant; I usually wear it in autumn because that powdery touch sets it apart from summer fresh scents. It’s not overwhelming at all, but it is persistent. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued…
I absolutely love this fragrance! It’s youthful and elegant; I wear it in autumn because that powdery note keeps it away from the fresh summer scents. It’s not overwhelming at all, but it is long-lasting. Unfortunately, it’s already discontinued.
I bought it for my wife blindfolded, relying on the composition with all the risks that implies. It’s spectacular! It doesn’t smell like anything I’ve ever had before, nor does it resemble Ultraviolet at all. Moderate projection, though it depends on how you apply it. Don’t be fooled by the notes; this isn’t a perfume for teenagers. What a pity the men’s version is no longer available. I give it a 10/10.
